<p>Has the lens experienced extreme heat recently? Since it's getting stuck while zooming I would surmise the lubricant evaporated and later condensed on the lens. I tend to think it will be limited to your lens. Either internal lubricant or if the lens seal has lost it's integrity possibly moisture, not necessarily mold. </p>

<p>Well Ellis I would have to say: Capturing memories, moments in time, a slice of life, capturing things I see that others do not. I enjoy shooting nature, landscape, events, people, especially children. I love night and low light photography. <br /><br />I love to share what I've done either through the web or as prints. Most of what I do, I give away. I enjoy the delight I can give to people when they look at my work. I enjoy the accolades I receive. I also find it fascinating when someone doesn't much care for something that I personally think is pretty neat. It opens a window into thought processes that differ from mine. <br /><br />So I get many things from photography. It's a way to give a little and take a little, while mostly having a lot of fun in the process. </p>

<p>Not only reboot but shut down, then restart. </p>

<p>You know I get the same impression that I was panning but in fact the camera was stationary, on a tripod. I did use different zoom settings but the panning effect was the very slight breeze that made the fireworks come down at a slight angle. It's especially evident when watching on a large screen tv. </p>

<p>I find many of the drone videos fascinating. I haven't tired of them yet although there's only so much you can do with fireworks. I recognize the safety concerns and there are always those who have drones and shouldn't be flying them. I hate to see them overly regulated but it's just a matter of time. <br> Here's a little video offering of my own, less the drone. http://youtu.be/1pfdaPZYv-Y</p>

<p>As always wonderful and varied contributions to this thread, which makes it so awesome! I will contribute three this week. #1</p><div></div>

<p>High key was what I had in mind. I was using an incorrect definition for it though. It's made for some interesting research and reading though. Upsides to being wrong. ;-) </p>

<p>I've always associated photos with white whites and black blacks (and little or nothing in between) as high contrast, meaning the range between the black and the white is high. <br /> Photos that were mostly shades of gray were low contrast because their range in contrast was low. <br /><br />Tri-X 400 for high contrast and Tri-X Pan for low contrast.<br /><br />That kind of blows my mind. ...I may not be able to sleep tonight. lol</p>

<p>Perhap H.264/MPG4 is what you are interested in? Check it out.<br /><br /><br> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264</a></p>

<p>I knew if I posted, it would come to me. High key is what I'm thinking of. Sorry for the wasted bandwidth. </p>
